Welcome to the draft Devon Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS)
– a strategy for the whole of Devon, including Plymouth and Torbay
We’re in a nature crisis. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. However, nature is resilient, humans are creative and we can all help to restore nature across Devon.
The Devon Local Nature Recovery Strategy gives an overview of Devon’s wildlife and sets out priorities and actions to help nature recover. It’s a tool to help us all do our bit to create a wildlife-rich Devon, today and for generations to come.
The public consultation has now ended. Huge thanks to all those who have responded. We are now processing the responses and editing this website and the viewer and aim to have done all edits by December 2025. The LNRS then needs to be signed off by all Devon Local Authorities and this sign-off process will be finished in spring 2026 .
There’s lots of great work going on across Devon to help nature. We’d love to know what you’re doing. Whether you’ve dug a pond, planted a woodland or a restored a wildflower meadow, please let us know by adding it to our delivery map on the Viewer.
